Our Two Hands Trailer

Something to look at if you are a Steelhead angler in the Northwest. Glad these boys stepped up and did something.

Deschutes Opener and The Clave



Way to start the season!!!

 It is that time of year again!! Busy and lots of fishing potential. Still some fish in the Sandy and the Clack. Lakes are opening up and the bid "D" is open and there are fish to be had for those willing to get out and chase them!!!

Coming up quick be there for the largest persentation in two handed rod in the world.

I know I just pumped you up about going fishing. But the Sandy Spey Clave is not one to miss. I would be there for as many days as I could and then go fishing. The free casting clinic is worth the trip to Oxbow alone!! Don't forget to sign up for the free casting class at speyclave2014@ragingriversales.com Hope to see you all there.

The Clave is Coming up Quickly!!!

Hope this help you guys getting ready for this AWESOME Event.

Yep Winter Steelhead or Winter Trout.

 Depending on what weather your getting the fishing can be awesome. I have been out for both trout and Winter Steelhead and have been finding success with both. The Steelhead are around and showing themselves to those willing to work, but you wont be alone on the river. With all this nice weather the urban rivers have been busy.


You cant catch Winter Steelhead if you don't get out there. Fish are being caught from the coast to the Urban rivers of Portland. The day you chose is everything.

Odd winter weather has lead to some great trout fishing!

On the East side the trout fishing has been very productive. Nymph fishing and dry fly fishing have been options on both the trips out on the Deschutes lately. Fish responded well to a variety of flies, time of day was more important. The Crooked river has been on fire and our very own Dave is there now so more info to come. Hope everybody has had a great start to their year!!!




Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!!!!!

That's what I will be doing!!

We here at the Fly Fishing Shop wanted to say thanks for all the support over the years. Wishing all of our friends a Merry Christmas and Happy New Years!!! Lets go catch some fish in the yer 2014. From all the crew here at the shop, Dave, Matt, Mark, Joyce, Patty, Travis, Tony, Mike, Rhawnie, Tippet.

Get Ready for Satureday!!!

The Weather is turning and tying flies is looking like a good option.... for a little while anyway

 

Tons of furs and feathers to peak your creative juices.

                                   
Well the holiday season is in full swing and days spent shopping or inside doing family stuff like eating dinners with way to many calories. If you are going to be stuck in this perpetual state of way to full, then find a comfy chair and be creative in this less than motivating state of mind. The shop has tons of fly tying stuff for all your trout, Steelhead, or saltwater needs. With new stuff headed our way right now, this is the place to get your fly tying muse motivated.

If you did not have enough vises in life, we can get you at least one more.

Or thing that would inspire a new tier to the tying community might be a new vise. either way we still have you covered. Never be afraid to stop on in and take a look. Grab a cup of coffee and hang out. Remember the Christmas party is on the 14th of December so be ready for that.

I M.O.W.'s

I M.O.W. tips are the way to go this time of year. Not as cold asit is going to be but not as HOT as it was. I have been out there lately and can tell you there are still fresh Summer Steelhead showing up in Most of the rivers east of Welches and 2014 is not to far away now. Take a look at these as a great way to control fly deepth and help fly speed. I MOW's here!!

Simms Wader SALE!

G3 Waders, Industry Standard and now at a great price.

Yep it is that time of year. Too cold to deal with the small leaks and seeps that the warm summer made feel better. If your waders are leaking and you find yourself in the market for a new pair. Come on in or go online and save a few buck. the G3 wader is the industry standard and now that they are going to make some new additions it is time for you to catch the savings. G3 Waders on sale. WE sold 9 pairs today don't wait to long.

Cold Weather is here.

Classic Look for the river, a hike. or even the Bohemian chic need to hang in the Pacific Northwest.

Well the days are changing and the shorting time on the water must be spent in comfort. Being cold this time of year is not an option. This cold weather shirt is also a kinda trendy thing right now a fleece lines checkered flannel. Reminds me of the old LL bean shirt my dad and I wore as a kind. Plus you might be the most stylish guy in any bar after a hard day on the water. For $99.95 a great deal too. Cold weather shirts check them out. They would also make great gifts for the up coming holiday.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

New flies to get ready for the winter season.

Here are all the colors to chose from.

Well the latest brain child of Scott Howell is here. In our shop any way. The long awaited Squidro have arrived. If you have liked the other flies that Scott has released on to the angling market the Squidro will compliment your box. Just take a look on the link provided. Squidros

Want to get the word out.

It is coming up on us all fast Christmas...But before that the FFS Christmas Party!!! oh yeah. As we normally do we will be having presentations on casting and lines as well as lots of the worlds best fly tiers here to show you there stuff. Plus in keeping with the Christmas spirit we will be doing the annual Christmas raffle.

Need we say more.

With the free food and goodies, push an in store discount give that day and that day only, how can you loose. Hope to see you all there!!!

New Simms Jacket.

Matt seems to enjoy the new jacket.

Well Simms keeps trying new product ideas and they might have a winner here in the northwest with the Bulkley Jacket. The Bulkley Jacket has the look of the old classic guide but for those this may concern. The Bulkley jacket is insulated to add warmth and gives you more mobility by not having to layer so deeply. The insulation oF prim aloft so even if you wade deep it dries quickly and still stays warm. If you are a hard core Northwest angler and in the market for a new rain jacket then look no further.

Great stuff now at a better price>

No another note all Fishpond items in the shop are currently on sale. If we have that pack or vest or gear bag you need you will like the price. Just call the shop at 503-622-4607
